Cheryl Cole is embarking on a UK tour later this year. The Call My Name singer is expected to perform 'some surprises' alongside songs from her new album A Million Lights and her previous hits on the 10-date tour in October. Her Million Lights tour will begin at Belfast's Odyssey Arena on October 3, and finish in her home city of Newcastle at the Metro Radio Arena on October 17. Cheryl - who will also play arenas in Nottingham, London, Sheffield, Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow - has previously said she has no plans to promote her third album in the US. "I haven't any plans to try and break America this time. I'm more than happy to be releasing it here," she told the Daily Star. "It's not in my plans to tour or release there. But I do want to tour in the UK - the buzz around this album has made me want to get out there." Tickets for the concerts, except Belfast and Dublin, are available on pre-sale from cherylcole.com on June 13 at 9am, and on sale on June 15 at 9am. Tickets for the Irish shows will be available from June 22.
